9 pt with .458 SOCOM

[RugerFan]

Last Saturday was opening day of the Wisconsin gun deer season and I was able to take a nice 9 point buck with my .458 SOCOM. Had it loaded with RCBS 45-300-FN (Lyman #2) at 1,683 FPS. Shot was broadside at 20 yards. Bullet went though both lungs and took off the top of the heart. The deer stumbled a few steps and tipped over. That was a good day.

Really Nice! Who says a Ar is not a hunting rifle?

If you can find it, the .458 SoCOm will take it down for you.:cbpour:

Good evening and Congratulations !
Nice looking buck !
I recon you had enough gun.
We were shooting a 450 Bushmaster and I would not mind popping corn crunchers with it.

Good job. Didn;t have any luck with cast bullets yet. But my 458 Socom loves Rem 300 JHP and 405 SP Have taken 2 bucks.. Refer to it as the "Buck Hammer" GW

[badguybuster]

That'll do it....of course, with that shot placement just about any decent round would work. Stellar!!

That's how you show the versatility of the AR15 platform. Good job, sir! Can the .458 Socom be formed from any other brass?

Sorry, I just now noticed this. As far as I know, you cannot form it from any other brass. The rebated rim makes that problematic.

Congratulations on a fine buck. I need to get my 458 Socom up and running

The .458socom case can't be made from any other case. There is rumor around and on Wikipedia that the .50AE is the parent case but it is not really true. The reason that rumor is around is because when Marty and Tony were developing the .458socom they didn't want to get a huge number of brass made special for R&D purposes due to the cost. So they got unfinished, untrimmed .50AE brass from Starline and machined .458socom brass from that. If you compare a .50AE case and .458socom case side by side it is pretty evident you are not going to make a .458 case from it.

Thanks, I read that it was based on the .50 AE online. Too bad it's not formable from the .50; I actually have those here for that silly D.E. crew served pistol.
